There's been a whole heap of nasty stuff being thrown around about women lately. I mean, back when I was twenty, if you would've suggested that we'd be bickering about safe access to abortion or questioning if an assault victim "asked for it" in 2012, I would have chortled (because I did and still chortle [...]
I just had to share this picture. My brother-in-law took it while attending the Pride Parade up in Seattle. Obviously it's a great representation of where Obama and Romney stand when it comes to marriage equality. But that's not the only reason it sticks with you. There's Obama, the mostly hopeful guy (I could get [...]
I just heard on the news (granted it was local news, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt) that two-thirds of Americans want to do away with the Affordable Care Act. I'm guessing this is probably inaccurate because if you break down the parts of "Obamacare" for people and then ask them about [...]
So I saw two videos that made me laugh today. One was really frickin' funny. The other was just so sad that I did the "Oh dear lord I can't believe these people actually exist" laugh that isn't really laughing at all.I'll start you out with the disturbing one because I'm an "eat the food [...]
Happy Holidays one and all! Time for the yearly letter. For those of you who don't know, this is kind of how I got started with all the blogging stuff. Once a year, I'd send out a snarky little letter about the state of the world -- not much pressure, except for the fact that [...]
So I didn't occupy anything today. At least not in the protesting sense. I was too busy figuring out how to make five zillion double-sided, three-hole-punch copies for my kid's teacher. So I suppose I was occupying space in the universe, just maybe not where it was most useful.Although that's arguable. Here in Reno, the [...]
The "Scream" TreeSo for about the last 14 hours or so, all I've heard is crap. And I'm just so done. So, so done.There comes a point where you start to wonder if there are any decent, reasonable people left in the world. If anyone's thinking about their actions and how they'll affect other people. [...]
I didn't get very much sleep last night. I was up until almost 1 a.m., watching news come in from Occupy Oakland. If you didn't already hear, a bunch of protesters were injured last night, including Iraqi war veteran, Scott Olsen. In the greatest of ironies, Scott survived two tours of duty and is now [...]
If you haven't heard -- and there's a very good chance you haven't -- a growing number of people are gathering in New York to "Occupy Wall Street." I say there's a good reason you haven't heard because the media has done a crap-ass job of covering the whole thing. Finally, sixteen days after it [...]
So Newt and Elfie have taken a sudden interest in politics (I have no idea how that happened), and the stuff that's been coming out of their mouths lately has been, well, enlightening. The other day, Elfie made a rather astute observation about Republicans and evil aliens. Apparently now it's Newt's turn.Yesterday, we were watching [...]
